Meet Monica

---

The owner and founder of Legacy Wellness is a second generation acupuncturist and herbalist with a warm and innovative approach to whole body health. Monica is an active expert in digestive health, fertility, and women's health. Her approach to healing stems from revered and ancient remedies. Along with her clinical experience, she brings to her practice a deeply intuitive and gentle approach to acupuncture and East Asian medicine. 

Licensed in acupuncture by the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice, and nationally board-certified from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM), Monica graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Masters Degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the Minnesota College of Oriental Medicine at Northwestern Health Sciences University in 2011.

Her journey into acupuncture began at a young age when Monica’s aunt, Diana Gross, L.Ac., a well-respected acupuncturist in Minneapolis, introduced her to the medicine. Over the years, Monica personally received great benefit from Diana’s treatments and a wealth of knowledge from her teachings. 

Bridging the gap between art and medicine, Monica offers Feng Shui consultations to her patients who seek a deeper understanding of how the beauty of their environment can enrich their lives. Before studying Chinese medicine, Monica studied interior design at the Art Institutes International Minnesota. Later becoming certified in Feng Shui Home Staging, she has successfully collided her two loves-art and alternative medicine.
